Hey, my name is Liza! I’m a wedding photographer for couples who love nature. I’m based in Jacksonville, Florida and I'm happy to travel for your ceremonies and celebrations. Take a look at my work! If my style resonates with what you are looking for – I would love to photograph you!
Please note - I do not have a studio! I prefer working outdoors or at your venue or home. Lighting is not an issue since I bring my own.
My clients often say that sessions with me feel easy and natural. They love the genuine emotions in the photos that become precious memories!
During the session I offer a mix of traditional easy and fun prompts and some that I pick intuitively. I am emotionally receptive person with some psychological background which helps me find the ways for YOUR expression.
Wedding is one of my favorite things to document. I love the dynamics, the EMOTIONS, the changes, the whirlpool of energy. I offer coverage from 1 hour to 8+ hours depending entirely on your preference. Reach out to schedule a free FaceTime consultation about your wedding plans!
Ready to book your session? Message me with the type of the photoshoot and the desired date. If you have time and location ready – great, if not I will be glad to help with those. I can also provide an outfit styling advice. If you have specific preferences in the style and editing – let me know, and I will do my best to make it happen.

Liz is a phenomenal photographer and woman. She made this entire process so seamless from beginning to end. I believe that no matter what type of photographer you are, patience is key and Liz is the perfect example of a patient photographer! She agreed to photograph my family including our 5 month old little baby. My daughter had quite a few melt downs but Liz was patient and took her time with us which meant the world to me. She helped find a perfect location for my family and helped a very non-fashionable girl like me pick a dress, making me feel 100% confident! She picked out Talbot Black Rock Beach which was an amazing, historical place. She was able to take this extraordinary location and portray its beauty in a million different ways by creating meaningful photos for us. Liz is passionate about her work and her love for photography shines through every single picture. Looking forward to working with her again in the future!
Details: Family or children's portrait • Artistic (focus on composition, lighting) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.

Elizaveta is who you need to book!! I reached out to her 6 weeks prior to a suprise engagement at Jax beach. She responded within 10 minutes and was very professional. She sent me forecast updates and made sure everything was smooth. The engagement took place at 6pm and she arrived at 5:30 to set up. The pictures were STUNNING and I am so glad I booked with her. I recommend her for anything you can. Prices were great and the work was unreal.

I am so grateful to have met Elizaveta. She has been a blessing to me from the moment I met her. I explained to her my vision, and she made the idea come to life far better than I expected. If you want the job done, you can hire Elizaveta. I can assure you will be satisfied. God bless Elizaveta!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Plans start at $400 and can go from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on your wishes.
Weddings start at $700 for brief 1 hour ceremonies and go for up to 8+ hours with more hours leading to lesser cost per hour.
I don't charge a travel fee for regular sessions within 50 miles from Jacksonville, and for the wedding within 200 miles.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I encourage you to look at my portfolio and the pricing, and if you like what you see, reach out with your preferred date. We'll discuss your vision, ideas, the vibe – in text or on FaceTime. After that we sign the contract finalizing all the details. 50% deposit will secure your booking. Then we will discuss in great detail your outfits, activities, scenarios and everything else.
During the session I'll prompt and guide you the entire time, so you don't have to worry about posing! You'll receive an online gallery with all your photos. You may order the prints, wall art, and holiday cards from my print store.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I took online and in-person classes since 2019 from other creative photographers.
Also I studied photography as a part of my web-design education in the college.
Now I offer the classes and mentorship myself – for kids and teenagers, aspiring and experienced photographers.
